Wow, this is shocking isn't it? It would be interesting to get statistics across MH services and beyond Scotland too. Something systemic seems to be going on. From a different perspective - that of access of young people and children to mental health services - there seems to be another systemic crisis. A perfect storm of resources, archaic attitudes and discriminatory practices... maybe?
Indeed. this was just one hospital's figures! And surely not capturing the full picture - just the officially recorded information. And yet I'm hopeful that there is change afoot - even in small ways.
